When Fitzgerald came to visit, Jiuyuan was adjusting the dolls for the children.

Although ordinary dolls can be used as long as they are possessed, after being slightly infused with demonic power, they will become smoother and more useful, otherwise the body will become a little stiff.

It is impossible to teach children to use demonic powers. They can only learn to increase the strength of their souls and try to control the dolls freely.

The one who learns the fastest is Sakura. She seems to be born with a stronger sense of perception than others. She can quickly control the puppets to do things that she wanted to do but didn't dare to do before.

Watching the girl in a red skirt jump down from a high place in two or three steps, paddling her feet lightly.

“I did it!”

The old father, Odasaku, clapped encouragingly from the side.

Dolls are naturally much stronger than human bodies, so when Fitzgerald entered the yard, he saw the boys fighting and playing.

…

…

Fitzgerald, who likes to do things himself, naturally came to visit in person.

With the delivery of the "ticket", we soon arrived at a Japanese-style mansion.

Crossing the gravel path at the door, there was dark scenery on both sides, and she couldn't see the true appearance of her surroundings. Montgomery pulled at the hem of her skirt awkwardly - she hated this pitch-black scene.

Fortunately, this darkness was short-lived. After taking a few steps, I entered the main hall.

Fitzgerald looked around and said calmly, "Is this also some kind of ability of the owner of this place?"

He didn't need to answer, just keep going.

After walking through the long waiting area, there is a long wooden table counter in front of you, with wooden signs hanging behind it. Each wooden sign is the transaction information left by the guests.

Odasaku was in the backyard, so the person who took over was of course Morofushi Kagemitsu.

Montgomery looked around and quickly followed his boss to the counter.

After handing the ticket to Morobushi Kagemitsu, the latter knew from the unique mark on the ticket that this person was the guest that Hisaen was waiting for.

...is said to be very rich.

Wearing a mask, they certainly couldn't see the sarcastic expression on his face underneath the mask.

"Please follow me." After he stood up, he led them across another folded space and left the area in the yard that was locked by the illusion.

What comes into view is a clean and bright courtyard. Behind the high fence is a dense forest, which can serve as a cool shade in summer.

There were several young children playing in the courtyard, and next to them were a red-haired man and a teenager.

The young man was wearing a white kimono, and even in such a hot day, he had a black haori over it, which made him look old-fashioned.

After seeing Fitzgerald and his subordinates, the boy smiled and nodded.

"Good morning." A butterfly landed on his hand, and Montgomery saw that it was made of paper.

Is this the boy's special ability?

"I thought you were coming." The young man walked over slowly. "Please introduce myself. I'm Yomikawa Hisaen."

Fitzgerald watched the paper butterfly take off from his hand and slowly fly towards him. He asked with a smile, "So you are the owner?"

"I can understand it that way." Jiuyuan nodded.

"Logically, I should invite you all to the tea room to leisurely chat about our business... However, it's better to see it with your own eyes." He said this in a mysterious way.

The next second, a little girl in a red dress ran over.

"Brother Jiuyuan, did you call me?"

"Well, I need Sakura's help." Kuen said, "Sakura, please come out of my body first."

Although he didn't know why, Sakura still did it.

So the people in the group witnessed the so-called transformation of the living dead.

The girl's body split into two as if her soul had left her body. The little girl named Sakura quietly walked to Kuen's side, holding the boy's hand, and her body just now turned into a white life-size doll.

As if he hadn't seen the reaction of the group, Kuen bent down and said to Sakura softly, "Does it feel comfortable to use your body?"

"Yes!" Sakura answered straightforwardly, and then asked timidly: "...Can Sakura go to school in the future?"

"Of course. After all, this is why we're doing this." Kuen touched her head. "By the way, can Sakura show it to these guests? Some of them also want to buy this special doll."

Sakura, who has made many cookies with Odasaku, also knows that Odasaku’s boss is a businessman.

When I heard what he said, I immediately understood that he wanted me to be used as an example.

"...Then what should I do?" She looked at Jiuyuan, then at Fitzgerald and the others.

"Hmm..." Jiuyuan looked at Fitzgerald and asked, "Can you please ask your subordinate to come over for a moment?"

Montgomery, who was sent out, had no choice but to cooperate and squat down, looking at the little girl in front of him.

Sakura said, "Sister, please extend your hand."

She stretched out her hand.

Then Saku also reached out to her——

Passed through Montgomery's hands.

Montgomery: “?!!!!”

She quickly pulled her hand back, only to feel something cold there.

Fitzgerald looked thoughtfully at Jiuyuan and the white doll he placed beside him.

"So that's how it is. Is this what they call seeing is believing... This little girl named Sakura is already dead, right? What you want me to see is that you used some method to make her 'resurrect' again. No, to be more precise, you possessed her."

"Yes." Kuen nodded, "Saku, you can come back now."

He ruffled the girl's hair and said, "Go and have fun. Thank you."

Sakiraku skipped away.

Jiuyuan: "This is the bargaining chip I can offer."

It was easy for Fitzgerald's news network to find out whether Sakura was really dead.

He continued to tempt: "I think this does not conflict with your desire to solve the problem completely."

Fitzgerald could have chosen the solution given by Jiuyuan, while continuing to look for a way to completely resurrect his daughter.

"I await your response."

…

…

Of course, Fitzgerald agreed.

But this involves another issue, which is the soul of his daughter Scott.

His daughter died in London, and the bells for summoning spirits certainly couldn't reach such a far distance, so he had to go to London in person. Unfortunately, the effect of ringing the bells for summoning spirits was very poor when using a vest, so Jiuyuan had to do it himself.

So he had to fly to London himself.

[System: Master, does this count as a public-funded trip?]

Jiuyuan: “…”

Before they came out, Fitzgerald used his money to solve all the travel and formalities problems, and also paid part of the money in advance.

He also gave Jiuyuan a cursed portrait, which was a picture frame the size of a mirror. Whenever a painting was placed in it, strange things would happen.

[System: He wouldn't just want to use this as a reward, right? That's not enough! ]

Jiuyuan: "He said it was part of the deposit, but it was more like a gift."

Anyway, it's weird to ask them for help only with money.

If this worked, Fitzgerald would surely find some strange and wonderful things to send back.

...Although Jiuyuan really thinks that giving money is a good thing, it is not easy to say this directly to the other party.

Fitzgerald found a special guide for them to travel around London, or more precisely, to where his daughter lived.

At first, he went to the scene where his daughter had the accident, but Jiuyuan used the bell and nothing came out.

Later I visited the places where his daughter had lived, and they were all the same.

Logically speaking, the souls of those who died in an accident should not disappear so quickly. Most of them will linger in the places where they left behind during their lifetime. However, he just couldn't find the soul of his daughter.

The system mentioned some bad ideas on the side.

[System: It seems that there are demons that eat souls in Europe... Will that lady be eaten? ]

Jiuyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't be so crow-mouthed."

But he turned around and asked Hanako for divination, and the conclusion was "no".

Scott's soul is still alive and well.

It's strange that they can't find it anywhere.

The guide who was assigned here had to run around all day and couldn't complain. After all, he was just an employee and couldn't ruin his boss's business.

He thought it was a simple matter, but it turned out to be so unsuccessful. Hisaen had no choice but to let Hanako continue to take the spoils.

The result he got was somewhat beyond his expectations——

Hanako suggested that he go to the underworld.

Although Jiuyuan has the Gate to the Underworld, he is not stupid and knows that the world after death may not be managed by a single organization.

This is Europe! Not Japan.

Jiuyuan: "Can I use the key to go directly to the hell of Europe?"

[System: Yes, the key will automatically select coordinates on the map. You are in Europe now, so of course you are going to the hell here.]

Although Jiuyuan's system rating is high enough to "go to hell", he is still a little nervous about going to hell to rescue someone for the first time.

He asked Hanako to predict whether the operation would be successful, and the answer he got was: "Although there are some twists and turns, the result will be good."

Jiuyuan thought about it and decided to believe the result of the divination.

He gave the guide a pass: "You must carry this pass with you throughout the trip."

Guide: “……?”

Seeing his serious look, the guide had no choice but to accept it with suspicion.

Jiuyuan continued, "By the way, you'd better tell your boss... We are going to hell and bring his daughter back."

Guide: “???”

Before he could ask "Are you sure?", he saw the young man take a golden key from his neck and draw a circle in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a dark oval entrance appeared in front.

They were clearly in a busy square, but no one around noticed anything unusual.

The boy stood at the door and said to him, "After you make the phone call to report, we will leave."

Guide: "...????"
